To quickly test your installation, it is recommended to use the widgetsgallery:

-
# Make sure you have a compositing window manager running: Go to System → Appearance, select "Visual Effects" and choose either normal or extra.

-
# Start the meego-im-uiserver (responsible for handling input method plugins and communication with the application) using a shell:
+
-
  meego-im-uiserver -software -bypass-wm-hint
+
-
# Test virtual keyboard in MeeGo Touch's widgetsgallery (in a seperate shell):
+
-
  QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext widgetsgallery
+
-

To integrate it with your system or product, use the distro-recommended way to start above daemon and setting the environment variable for all applications.

(In reply to comment #3) > If this is only for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan, the bug is in wrong place.

No, this bug is for MeeGo proper.

I've filed the bug in the Harmattan bugzilla too:

As I said here: http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=24704&postcount=13 I suggest to split the bug in two, - The Japanese Input - The sliding feature

> We will also need engine support.

There are many open source possibilities, the most efficient ones are in my opinion Anthy and Mozc.

If I misunderstood what you mean please forgive me.

I'm investigating a similar crash issue related to corewatcher.

Could you test it without corewatcher to see if you still meet any crash: After meego-im-uiserver launched, kill corewatcher process and do the same tests.

Note that without corewatcher, you can still find core files under /tmp with the PID when it is core dumping. (You might need "ulimit -c unlimited" to enable core dump.)

Hi, I have analyzed it and created a merge request at https://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins/merge_requests/7

Please look at it.

Thanks,

that time is up and the proposed fix doesn't apply since it involves a package that is not part of 1.2 and shifting everything over to the new codebase at this extreme late hour would be an unacceptable risk.

This.... and none of the meego-ux apps are impacted by this bug. For 1.3 it's easy, we include the change to use the new libmaliit and we are done with it.
